Stuff. And stuff in OD

The book giveaway went well yesterday. I got to the union about midday and all the books were gone by 5.

It was fueled by tea and biccies that another group were giving away free for St Georges Day. Oddly enough, the question I was asked most (beside what the book was about) was if I had written it or not.

And I might be getting more books. they emailed me back on Saturday evening (after I emailed them on Thursday, this is their idea of 24 hour response time) saying they logged the books as missing and that they’d send more yesterday.

Then I went to a World Book Night event, listened to music and poetry, got a load more books and was reminded that there are sdome questions that really shouldn’t be asked in a quiz if it’s on paper.

Waterstone’s were giving out goodie bags and one of the contents was a World Book Night quiz. One of the Questions? ‘How do you spell Niffenegger?’

Really.

It was a just for fun quiz though.

Finally got my contract for starting work today, along with a bunch of other paperwork. No real surprises. The only thing really is that it’s monthly pay rather than weekly. I’ll survive. I should still get JSA till I first get paid, as far as I know.

Tonight, I have to go pick up a kettle. I’ve been after one for a while, ever since one of my friends let me know about some instant noodles that don’t need cooking. You just boil water in the kettle, stick the noodles and the flavour sachet in ta bowl, add water and leave for 4 minutes. Which makes it perfect for me to cook in my room.

Tomorrow I’m going to a screening of a programme about the Transporter Bridge called Bringing the Bridge to Life. I think it’s going to be broadcast on the BBC at some point. There’s the programme and then live music. Should be good.

And that’s about all, really.
